Born Fifth Avenue Shoes (For Women)

I walk to and from the main campus for meetings and love the comfort of these shoes. They are definitely work the cost. These shoes are leather and require protectant to extend their life.

Borns are "M/W" - probably really about a C width. I need to stretch mine a teeny bit because I am a D, but on the whole they are very nice, very comfy, and will help a lot on concrete trade show floors for hours of standing. They will accept my orthotics too. They have a germicidal lining - nice, but not a huge deal; I keep cedar shoe trees in them anyway.

You know that happy feeling when you put on that pair of shoes you've admired for the first time and they feel just right, like they've been waiting for you, too? OK, so maybe I'm getting a little anthropomorphic but these shoes feel just right. They won't need any breaking in, as they have a padded footbed. I was concerned that the strap would rub/chafe my ankle but they are completely comfortable. They look adorable, a nice variation on a maryjane.

This is such a cute and versatile shoe, I really wish it worked for me. Unfortunately, I must send it back. It feels very comfortable until I walk, then I notice I need more instep support and even though it is roomy enough in the toebox, my big toe slams into the leather front of the shoe. Just not the shoe for my foot.

Love these shoes! I can wear them all day without any discomfort. Fits just right and the leather is nice and soft. Works with either pants or skirts and the price here can't be beat!

Born shoes are about the only ones that fit my very wide toe box without pinching, and these are no exception. I snapped these up immediately, because I thought they'd be cute with fall skirts. What do you know -- they look great with pants, too. I really like the fact that the soles are good for city walking without looking too clunky.
